    eCognoscente - Fashion - DIANA VREELAND On Allure, in Vreelandese

    The recent reissue of Allure is an occasion to celebrate the legacy of that witty and imperious arbiter of elegance, Diana Vreeland (1903-1989). Editor of Harper’s Bazaar from 1937-1962 and of Vogue from 1963-1971, she was later a Special Consultant to the Metropolitan Museum, where she organized costume shows including the famous The World of Balenciaga.
